Ellie Rose Stanley

Ellie Rose Stanley was born into heaven on March 21, 2025, at 1:05 p.m., Ellie Rose was a beautiful blessing, a gift from God who touched our lives in ways beyond measure. Though her time on earth was brief, her impact will be eternal. She will forever be a part of our family, carried in our hearts and cherished in our memories.

Ellie Rose is deeply loved and survived by her devoted parents, Eric and Emily Stanley, who longed to hold her in their arms but now carry her in their hearts. She is a beloved little sister to Brayden (Nadia Armstrong) and Layla Stanley, who will always remember her as their sweet angel watching over them. Her grandparents, Kevin and Wanda Owens, and Mike and Kim Stanley, find comfort in knowing she is cradled in heaven, even as they mourn the loss of a grandchild they dearly love.

She is also lovingly remembered by her aunts and uncles, Tyler and Kaitlin Stanley, and Trent Owens, as well as her cousins, Landon Owens, Linni, and Murphy Stanley, who will always hold her memory close. Ellie Rose was a light, a hope, and a dream, and though she did not take her first breath in this world, she was surrounded by boundless love.

Though we grieve the moments we will never have—first steps, first words, first birthdays—we find comfort in knowing that Ellie Rose will never know pain or suffering. She only knows love, the love that surrounded her from the moment she was known to us. She was created in love, carried with love, and will be remembered with love forever.

In honor of Ellie Rose’s memory, we ask that instead of flowers, donations be made to Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, https://www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org/donate/, an organization that provides comfort and remembrance photography for families experiencing the loss of a baby. Their work ensures that even the shortest lives are never forgotten, just as our Ellie Rose will never be forgotten.

Though our hearts ache with the weight of this loss, we find solace in the belief that Ellie Rose is now wrapped in the arms of angels, watching over us until the day we can hold her again. She will always be a part of us—our daughter, our sister, our granddaughter, our niece, our cousin, our angel.

Ellie Rose, you were so deeply wanted, so fiercely loved, and are so immeasurably missed. You may have only been with us for a moment, but you will be loved for a lifetime.

A celebration of Ellie Rose’s life will be held at 11am on Saturday, March 29, 2025 at Sunset Funeral Home. The family requests attendees to wear bright colors in honor of Ellie Rose. She will be laid to rest in Sunset Memorial Park Cemetery.
